1 I do not propose to enter into a discussion of the real significance of κριθ⋯ς διδ⋯ναι, but only to point to the fact that it is casually connected with purificatory ceremonies. Such a discussion would involve a discussion of the Eleusinian ⋯παρχ⋯, etc. The sense was probably different in different cases. If in this case it had a purificatory purpose, Samter's interpretation of the καταχ⋯σμαγα in his Familienfeste der Griechen und Römer, 1901, may be compared, though I am not certain that he hits the mark.
